How Telecoms Can Escape Vendor Lock-In With Open Source NFV
By Jonathan Gershater | June 5, 2015
Today, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) takes software applications that run on proprietary hardware and allows them to run on standard x86 servers. This allows core network infrastructure to dynamically allocate network, compute and storage to satisfy workloads on-demand. It also allows you to move these workloads to different servers, or even different data centers as needed, and to scale up or scale down without changing the underlying hardware. NFV provides you with a modern agile environment to respond to customers needs, get to market quickly with new services, and reduce both capital and operational expenditures...

How the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Navigates the 'Supply Chain' of Open Source Software
David Needle | Enterprise.Nxt | October 9, 2017
Large companies have divisions and subsidiaries that make efficient organizational management a challenge. Perhaps no one recognizes that more than Colin Wynd, vice president and head of the Common Service Organization at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Wynd is charged with ensuring that software development practices and strategy are forward-thinking and secure, and adhere to compliance regulations.

How the University of Hawai'i Is Solving Today's Higher Ed Problems
By Don Watkins | June 3, 2017
Openness invites greater participation and it takes advantage of the shared energy of collaborators. The strength of openly created educational resources comes paradoxically from the vulnerability of the shared experience of that creation process. One of the leaders in Open Educational Resources (OER) is Billy Meinke, educational technologist at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. The University's open creation model uses Pressbooks, which Billy tells me more about in this interview...

How This Open Source Security Tool Halted Significant DDos Attacks
By Philippe Humeau | January 1, 2021
In 2020, our ways of living and working were turned completely upside down in a matter of days. As COVID-19 began to spread across the globe, we brought our companies home, and staying connected to our colleagues, friends, and family online became a critical necessity. This opened the door for hackers to cause disruption; for example, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks around the world were up 151% in the first half of the year, according to Neustar.

How Time-series Databases Help Make Sense of Sensors
By Justin W. Flory | August 10, 2017
Infrastructure environments' needs and demands change every year and systems become more complex and involved. But all this growth is meaningless if we don't understand the infrastructure and what's happening in our environment. This is where monitoring tools and software come in; they give operators and administrators the ability to see problems in their environments and fix them in real time. But what if we want to predict problems before they happen? Collecting metrics and data about our environment gives us a window into how our infrastructure is performing and lets us make predictions based on data. When we know and understand what's happening, we can prevent problems, rather than just fixing them...

Chris Swinburn | Computer Weekly | July 14, 2016
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust’s clinical lead for electronic patient records explains how clinical engagement has helped make EPR an open source success. Anyone who knows me will know I am not very good with computers. Which may make me seem a curious choice to lead clinical engagement in an important IT implementation for our trust.
